RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We adopted ASU 2018-12 effective January 1, 2023. The new guidance: (i) improves the timeliness of recognizing changes in the liability for future benefits and modifies the rate used to discount future cash flows; (ii) simplifies and improves the accounting for certain market-based options or guarantees associated with deposit (or account balance) contracts; (iii) simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs; and (iv) requires enhanced disclosures, including disaggregated rollforwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account liabilities, MRBs and deferred acquisition costs. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative information about expected cash flows, estimates and assumptions is required. The new measurement guidance for traditional and limited-payment contract liabilities and the new guidance for the amortization of deferred acquisition costs was adopted on a modified retrospective transition approach. For contracts in-force at the Transition Date, we continue to use the existing locked-in investment yield interest rate assumption to calculate the net premium ratio, rather than the upper-medium grade fixed-income corporate instrument yield. However, for balance sheet remeasurement purposes, the current upper-medium grade fixed-income corporate instrument yield is used at transition through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently through other comprehensive income. For MRBs, we use the required retrospective application and were able to use hindsight to measure fair value components to the extent assumptions in a prior period are unobservable or otherwise unavailable.

We selected the modified retrospective transition method, except for MRBs where we are required to use the full retrospective approach. Pursuant to ASU 2018-12, the account balances subject to the guidance were recast on the Transition Date. The following summarizes the impact of adoption on the Transition Date (dollars in millions):

_____________________
(a)     The impact to retained earnings was primarily related to certain long-term care product cohorts where the present value of expected benefits exceeded the reserve at the Transition Date plus the present value of future gross premiums. As a result, the net premium ratio was capped at 100 percent with an immediate increase in the reserve for such cohorts.
The following summarizes the impact of adoption on previously reported balances as of December 31, 2022 and as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (dollars in millions, except per share data):
